The Law of Conservation states that “energy cannot be created nor destroyed but rather transformed from one form to another”. Neuroscience and research support the idea that our responses to experiences, thoughts, emotions and memories produce a substantial amount of energy through neurotransmitters in the brain and somatic sensations throughout the body. My question to you is how are you managing and navigating your emotions? Are you finding yourself overwhelmed or struggling with understand your feelings? If the answer is yes, than I would say that this would be an excellent place for us to start.

Have YOU ever..... 1) Struggled with slowing down, being present and grounded? 2) Been told “who to be, what to do, how to act?” 3) Found it difficult to listen or trust your own intuition? I have also been there. And, when all of the above began pulling me further out of alignment, I made a choice that I no longer wanted to live in a world where my truth and my voice were not being seen, heard, valued, or respected. With me in YOUR corner, you’ll be able to let go of any resistance, build a deeper understanding of your sense of self, rediscover who you are underneath it all, and learn how to relax and release any fears.

My passion is to help people get back in the driver’s seat of their lives. I’ve worked with many clients who say they feel completely controlled by their anxiety, their relationships, or what’s expected of them.

When life becomes overwhelming, our emotions become difficult to navigate. Have you been feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Are you feeling unsettled with changes that you may be facing? You don't know what to do first, because you feel there is too much to do all at once. You just want to escape, but you're unsure of how to help yourself. Maybe you're engaging in destructive behaviors to fill the void. You just want to feel better and be "normal". Keeping these emotions bottled up creates a sense of loneliness. I'm here to tell you that you are not alone. This is actually very common and there is help.
